Do/did you play Quake? I used to. It was my first PC FPS experience. A friend at work bought Quake Arena when it came out and we would all play at work. It was a lot of fun, even though I wasn’t that great at it. Well, years down the road I discover that Id has released Quake Live. It’s basically Quake III/Arena being played online, in a browser. When I heard about it I was actually excited and rushed over to the site and signed up. Soon I was playing the game and remembering all the fun I used to have. It was great and I’ll totally be on from time to time playing. I’ll have to play at work though (at lunch) since my home PC isn’t 3D game ready. I really should get a 3D card some time. I wonder if my laptop will run it…

I go by Mr. Hondo when I’m online so if you see me feel free to say hi and what not. Maybe we’ll “frag” some “noobs” as the kids say. ^_^

I have two kids that don’t sleep the best… especially the youngest.  He wakes up at around 11 pm each night.  Every night.  I couldn’t tell you the last time I slept though the whole night with no interruptions.  It been at least 2 years… probably more.  On top of that, I’m staying up late to get my son painting done so I’m crazy tiered during the day.  I couldn’t tell you what I had for supper the night before on most days.

Which got me thinking… I think I’ve only stayed up all night about 2 or 3 times in my whole life.  They where during high school and I was playing games.  I never once stayed up all night during college, but most of my fellow students did.  One girl stayed up for 3 days straight trying to get work done.  She was a zombie on the third day and didn’t make much sense when she talked.

What’s the most you’ve ever gone with out sleep?
